That is short for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. That's when you have severe concentration problems, or you may be so active or impulsive that it interferes with your daily tasks-- that's when you may have ADHD. Of course, you cannot pay attention at school all the time. And of course, your parents may ask you one thing three times before it actually sinks in.
